Introduction

Hello to everyone out there on the World Wide Web. I'm a lover of movies, music, and just about anything containing the written word. Since nothing is better than sharing opinions with others, I decided to get in some writing practice and hopefully will be able to entertain somebody. I'll be mainly reviewing books and book based movies. I'm working on a guest blogger who I'm hoping will help me with a music section if I prod him about it enough.

Basics:

Books

I am a huge Fantasy/Sci fi nerd. If it's got magic swords, talking computers, or damsels in distress, I am there. I grew up on Robert Heinlein and Mercedes Lackey and Forgotten Realms novels. Those authors in particular feel like old friends of mine. I tend to read a smattering of other genres; historical fiction, classics, biographies, fanfiction (of which I may resort to a few reviews of), even some young adult novels too. With any luck, I'll be able to keep an interesting rotation of genres and books reviews. 

Movies/TV

I watch a lot of movies and TV shows, very little of it new. With the recent surge in book-related movies and shows, I've had many friends who have either read the book or seen the movie but not both ask me for my opinion on the one they haven't had experience with. Aside from (or including even) the book based movies, I typically enjoy action/adventure, period dramas, and even some martial arts movies and, yes, you will get to hear about those too. 

Music

My music tastes are as eclectic as my interests in books and movies but this one isn't really going to be about me. I love listening to music but I don't really have the expertise to analyze it and explain why I like certain songs or bands more than others. My companion (should I be able to beg or bribe him into writing for me) is a big fan of anything metal, rock and roll, and occasionally rap. He is able to talk about the subtle nuances between death metal and something that sounds like death metal to me. I'll see if I can get him to explain the differences. 

That's all for today and I hope to get an actual review up in the next day or so.
